The Descent of the Messiah — Page 121
HADRAT MIRZA GHULAM AHMADAS آنکه او آمد از خدای یگان پیش چشمش ز خیل مفتریان In their eyes, the one who comes from God is one of the liars. گر نبودی شقی و کرم زمین توبه کردی از گفتگوی چنین Had he not been wretched and an insect of the earth, he would have desisted from such talk. آنچه با من کند عنایت یار کی به غیری شنیدی ای مردار O, lifeless ones, have you heard of anyone receiving the kind of favours that the beloved bestows upon me? مشعل غیب رهنما بودی گر شعار تو اتقا بودی If piety had been your way, the torch of the unseen would have been your guide. اتقا را بود از صدق آثار ای سیه دل ترا به صدق چه کار The sign of piety is truthfulness; O, black-hearted one, what does truthfulness mean to you? نیستی از خدا تو رازشناس همه برظن و وهم هست اساس You do not recognize the mysteries of God; you have built every- thing on doubt and conjecture. آنچه گویی از راه کبر و جحود پیش ازین گفته اند قوم یهود Whatever you say out of arrogance and denial, the Jews said the same things before you. 121
